Everyone always says that guys are intimidated by me, but I seriously doubt it. I mean, I'm five-foot-nothing!

Wayne Wang, the director, really helped me become a more mature actress. When I first started filming, I was really over the top. He just helped bring me down and make me real. That was really wonderful, a really wonderful experience. Also, what I learned about filming is it takes forever. I mean, there are so many different angles and shots. I mean, it just takes forever.

I think you can go to school at any age.

If you act weird, people are going to treat you weird, but if you're just yourself, people respond to that.

Boys and girls can be friends. It's not weird. They're a person and they can be your best friend in the whole world.

There's no need to bully; be kind to unwind!

If I didn't get joy from acting, I wouldn't do it. My passion for acting is growing and I love telling good stories and inspiring stories and helping to give a little happiness to the world and perhaps get the audience to think about different issues.
